woke up early so i could watch yesterdays episode of dexter cause it wasn't up for download until after 2am. good episode, really crazy stuff going on with lundy and debra getting shot which is similar to the dexter by design book. eventually got to work and the computers weren't working which seemed to be a bit of a nuisance cause the girls had to write their checks out for johan.

had a bunch of stuff to do like every monday but we actually ended up being busier then normal so i ended up not getting around to fill stuff up and change stuff out. got out at 3:30 and went to the bank and accidentally only gave them one of my paychecks instead of my last two. should have gotten gas on my way home but didn't but did stop by the parents to grab some papers for the house.

just chilled at the house and watched how i met your mother and accidentally on purpose with nelson and snagged a hot and ready from little caesars for dinner. got beat by both richard and grant tonight in games of scrabble which kinda sucked cause i was kinda cheating too and still couldn't come close to winning.

found out that my name is definitely on the guest list for the fest and that touche amore and great friend of mine are playing a house show up there that friday night.

2009-10-18T20:14:00.000-07:00

ended up waking up at around 10:30 which is odd even for me and watched a little more cowboy bebop. ate some biscuits that nelson made that were kinda ho hum and this girl heather wanted to go out to marina jacks to hangout. so i tried making it over a bit earlier but i lollygagged like i usually do so no hot chocolate for me.

got to marina jacks and met up with her and laid a sheet down and ended up just chit chatting and getting to know each other better. she said that she was starving so we went to two senoritas cause she wanted lunch fajitas but then i pointed out they were only monday through friday so we snuck out before the waitress showed up. decided just to go to whole foods and it was alright, a bit on the expensive side though. said "hi" to ian lemus briefly and saw absalon but he totally ignored me, not cause he didn't see me.

walked back to marina jacks and i ended up getting in touch with absalon and he said he was going to the hungarian festival over off wilkinson. so i stopped by best buy for a bit and then headed on over and ended up having to pay 5 bucks to park which sucks but at least i got some free food.

went to starbucks on my way home and grabbed a caramel apple spice which hit the spot and then got my nap on. woke up and finished up some cowboy bebop and then talked to grant online for a bit and watched tonights curb your enthusiasm and bored to death, both of which were awesome.

now i'm just sitting around waiting for the new dexter to come up for download so i can watch it and finally go to sleep.

so i ended up waking up before 9am and nelson was still in orlando getting his ioa/universal weekend on. went online to check on my teenage cool kids - queer salutations record and they said that they tried shipping it but there was a safe place to hide it which is bullshit. so i go outside and the weather is absolutely gorgeous so i roll down the windows and jam some matt pond pa. get there and come to find out it doesn't open til 10am. come back at 10am and eventually the find it and head back home and the corner is slightly bent and makes me wish that it was a gatefold.

ended up just chilling around the house watching some cowboy bebop and then got in touch with bryan to see what he was up to. took a quick shower and then headed on down to nokomis while celebrating edge day i threw on champion - promises kept and really just got stoked on the edge. then when i showed up we headed on over to taylors house and they tried smoking their product but couldn't find a lighter. wanted to go get our pizza on but fratellis was closed so we went to giannis and i got a white pizza and root beer, i'm so used to the pizza at lazy moon that i didn't realize that it would have tomatoes on it so that bummed me the fuck out.

ended up going back to bryans and watched some mst3k and ended up shredding a sweet ass nap for a bit before i headed back home. just chilled for a couple hours at the casa playing farmville and watching tv then headed on over to the sarasota olive oil co. and caught bryan beardsley's last song. mostly went cause this girl who is way too young for me but i still find really cute was going to be there. before anybody was really there had a good conversation about guitar hero and music with absalon. hung out with caleb and richard and the rest of the gang which is always fun, plus chilling with new people is something i enjoy.

went home and watched this weeks episodes of psych, monk and the mentalist and finally crashed at like 3.

ended up having another lazy sunday hanging out with zack as per uge and started the day off by going over to little caesars and getting a pepperoni pizza and some crazy bread so we'd have something to munch on while we got our laziness on. ended up taking a nap for a while then we both woke up and hung out for a little while longer then he ended up heading on out so i took another nap. tried finding something to do but it seemed as though nothing worthwhile was so i just hung out at home and started watching the first season of the shield.

wake up at around 9:30am and find out that travis barker was involved in awful plane crash that ended up taking the lives of 4 people. spent most of the day watching episodes of psych, freaks and geeks and the big bang theory then we decided to beat street fighter iii. went over to chick-fil-a and i had coupons that zack could use cause he's really broke and treated myself to some chicken strips then we just headed back to the house.

bryan ended up coming over and we played a whole bunch of cheated sf3 so we could unlock gill (beat the game with every character) and after about 4 hours we did that. bryan then headed on out and we went to sweetbay to get some thin mint ice cream along with some totinos party pizzas for dinner. went back to the house and watched some more tv and got our grub on then eventually decided to go on over to bryans house to hangout.

did pretty much the same thing we were doing at the house cept it was dragon ball z, some atv game and more freaks and geeks. ended up getting kinda tired so we went back to the house and watched some more big bang theory before we ended up calling it a early night.

2008-09-23T17:34:00.000-07:00

went to my favorite place on the planet once again and decided to make myself some turkey along with some broccoli and mashed potatoes cause i was feeling a little healthy. man it was nice having john out of the restaurant for the past week or so taking care of other things instead of being a pain in the ass like he is.

ended up heading home and watching some tv and taking a shower waiting for zacks ass to finally show up. he came over at around 8:30pm with taylor in tow which would have been cool had taylor had a ride home instead of me having to take his ass all the way to venice which truly sucks. so we ended up playing some street fighter iii and bryan came over and we watched some burn notice and some more tv.

then around 2:00am we woke sleeping beauty up and drove his ass slowly down i-75 cause gas is a bitch and nobody has any money except for me. got behind a car on venice ave that was driving ridiculously slow so i pull up behind them and start freaking them out by driving right on them and messing with lights. zack and i were just dying laughing and taylor is just passed out and i throw him out the car so we could try and have some more fun but they were already pulled into a driveway.

2008-09-21T17:43:00.000-07:00

another day, another dollar going to work like usual and wishing that i'd never have see my boss but unfortunately that will probably never happen. actually were kinda busy for a little while there and nelson still had some things to do around 3:00pm and john yells at him so he clocks out and still does the stuff he had to. i honestly know why people become killers and it's because of people like john who just don't have a positive bone in their body and can't just be nice.

headed on my way home and tried calling dan up so i wouldn't have to go all the way home and then back to his place. he calls me up and i head on over to pick him up after i got done taking a shower and we went to the laundry mat to dry my clothes. get there and this lady was freaking out about the washing machine and was trying to get us to help her but it wasn't necessary. so we went over to sweetbay and got some mountain dew for the evening then went back to grab my laundry and the lady from earlier was slamming back her beer (sign on the wall "no alcoholic beverages" lol).

then we headed on over to the hospital to go get dan's paycheck and i even got to see where he works and some of his co-workers. afterwards we headed on over to publix so he could cash it and he got us some drumsticks which were quite delicious that's for sure. afterwards went to the house and watched some fringe then nelson came home and made us some ribeye (gotta make money somehow) for us and it was delicious. then we watched some of the big bang theory and started watching heroes again. then i took him home and headed on back to the casa and watched the season finale of burn notice with nelson and hit the hay shortly after.

2008-09-20T07:00:00.000-07:00

did not want to wake up this morning and go to work so i just laid around til i "had" to go. get there and get my work on and realize how i'll never like john cause he's literally the biggest douche bag ever. before i leave i decided to make myself a bacon cheeseburger so i could be patriotic on my way home.

so i'm driving home with bruce springsteens "born in the u.s.a." blaring out the windows and devouring this delicious burger yelling out"AMERICA." on fruitville i see two trucks with huge ass american flags waving proudly and got a little emotional for my love of america (lol).

get home and decide to take a nap while waiting for dan to hit me up to hangout and around 7:30pm he got ahold of me so i headed over to the hospital. i hadn't eaten so we went over to el adobe and i actually got a large chicken nachos instead of a small one which was kinda stupid but still good stuff. so we went back to the house and watched fringe and it was definitely a lot better then the first episode in my opinion then we watched some more big bang theory and i finished watching every episode.

then around 11:00pm we decided to head on over to the cock and bull for litre beer night and made dan buy me a coke. so spend my night hanging out with whitley, pete stolp, aaron, cass, brandon and nicky (her boob kept on popping out...nothing wrong with that) and heard how brandon may got arrested for building a bomb or some shit and he's like"i can't even change the oil in my car." then brandon paid me to go get him and cass beer and me another coke so i gladly do it and he tried giving me like 10 bucks but i only took 3.

left a little after 2:00am and took dans ass home and got home at 2:30am and decided to watch college cause i'd just finished downloading it earlier. had no intentions to stay up so late but i didn't end up getting to sleep until 5:30am which is a bad thing cause i had to be up by 9:00am.

2008-09-19T15:04:00.001-07:00

went to work like usual and ended up being told that i now need to start weighing out my cornbeef cause i make my reubens too big. ended up having a nice little rush around 12:30pm which is good cause we need as much bussiness as possible to keep the place afloat. ended up leaving first so i just went home and then ricky said he was going to alexx and was at steves.

so i quick took a shower and headed on over to steve's so i wouldn't have to drive all the way alexx's house. we stopped over by rocketman and saw that they had coupons for smoothie king i went over there and got myself a 32 oz. angel food and a 20 oz. something or another that had peanut butter in which was delicious. get over to alexx's house and zack is already there and they have papa johns on their way with some pizza for us crazy cats.

so here i am double fisting these smoothies and eating some delicious pizza while the boys get higher and higher and start watching robin hood: men in tights. after a while we see that home alone 2 is on and realize that the movie is honestly one of the most brutal pieces of cinema. afterwards we ended up going out to coldstone and got myself a marshmellow and oreo of deliciousness. went back to steves house and watched some colbert and stewart and ended up taking ricky back to his house and he got me a amp energy drink.

went back to the house and zack was just hanging out in the living room and so we played some street fighter iii. afterwards we started watching some freaks and geeks and then he headed on home and i went to get my sleep on then.

so went to work like usual and honestly i don't remember exactly what went on cause well i should have written this out 4 days ago.

ended up spending the night at home watching tv and doing a whole lot of nothing cause there really wasn't anything going on.

Sunday September 14th

2008-09-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

today ended up waking up at a fairly early hour and talked to shady to see if he wanted to go grab some lunch a movie. met up with him at around 1:30pm at the olive garden and treated myself to some lasagna and zuppa tuscana along with a couple breadsticks. talked about some stuff going on and whatnot but pretty much were in and out in like 40 minutes which is relatively quick for olive garden.

then we headed on over to the mall and i stopped by and said "yo!" to cullen and mike for a little while and got myself a root beer. then i saw that seth was working at the pretzel shop and i hadn't seen him in forever so i made my way over there to see how that hombre was doing and he was talking about moving to orlando and going to valencia.

then shady showed up and tried to get a free movie ticket over at american eagle but they were already out of them. so i used my old ticket and we went to go see burn after reading by the coen brothers. seriously so many old people in the theater and the movie was alright but honestly one big clusterfuck of crazy shit going on. afterwards went and said goodbye to everybody and it was pouring rain by then and i ran to my car getting soaking wet.

get home and get my nap on and find out people are hanging out at alexx's so i get ahold of zack and he said he'd pick me up if i met up with him. well i head on over to taco bell for some dinner and i guess while that was going on he had tried calling me so i missed out. drove all the way over to clark when i found out and decided to just drive back home and watch some tv and go to sleep.

so i ended up finally waking up at like 12:45pm and then met up with ricky and steve at moes after i stopped by five guys and grabbed some bacon cheeseburgers. then those guys somehow convinced me to drive to st pete to the scary kids/finch show so ricky could sell some stuff and i ended up spending my time just hanging out with mike, nick and austin. ended up heading over to chipotle and treated myself to a steak burrito and the sweet tea was extra delicious that's for sure. ended up taking steve back to his car and he took ricky home and i thought about doing something but seemed like nothing was going on so i just ended up going home.

went to work once again and after a while john ended up leaving and they day ended up being a lot better then usual. made a turkey club and it was quite delicious for lunch and nelson even worked on the line all day.

went to the mall and visited with cullen and schmity for a while and then ended up going over to the china palace express for dinner. afterwards i ended up heading over to the olive oil co. and ran into nearly everybody i used to hangout with back in the day. then ricky, chad and myself headed over to the sportspage and ended up talking to a really cute girl about lasagna and finally left at like 2:30am. headed over to whitley's afterwards and played some foozball and watched stuart bust his ass on the balance board.

2008-09-13T22:11:00.000-07:00

what another wonderful day at work (sike) but nelson did end up nearly getting sent home at 1:40pm cause john is a le douche. but he talked his way into staying for about a hour longer and i managed to hang in there for a while longer as well. stopped by the bank on the way home to get some cash cause i need to give nelson rent money still, can't wait for the end of the month when i get my vacation pay.

then i ended up just spending the whole night at home watching television (season finale of burn notice) except to go over to chick-fil-a and treat myself to a delcious number 3 biggie sized.

2008-09-11T21:00:00.000-07:00

went back to work and it ended up being fairly busy for quite some time then boom 1:30pm we just completely which really sucks. so then john gives nelson the gesture to leave and nelson has to confront him and tell him "yo you are cutting my hours way too much" so he got to stay until ponchito got there. i start filling everything up and then i go in the back so john can't find me and tell me that i have to go cause i'd rather peace out on my terms.

afterwards just went home and just lounged around finishing up season 1 of californication and nelson made ribeye that he snagged from work for dinner. once i finished the season finale i went to matts house (he's living with the parents again) and hungout with him and dan. after a while dan and i went to applebees for some dinner and treated myself to some mozzarella sticks then we headed to the cock and bull.

initially there wasn't a whole lot of people but then pete stolp and posse rolled up and actually ended up having a good time. hungout with a cute girl named nikki while i was there and some other interesting folks. then a little while before the evening was over there was a huge ass brawl going on a table over which was absolutely ridiculous and bloody.

Tuesday September 9th

2008-09-11T05:52:00.001-07:00

so woke thinking today was going to suck at work and low and behold john isn't there cause of a "emergency" so he wasn't there the whole day. we were also busy enough that nelson came up to line for most of the day which hasn't happened in such a long time. the oak park kids came once again and kyle was in the back doing dishes with michele, good kid.

went home and started doing some laundry and even had the intention of hanging it out on the clothesline but it started pouring rain. nelson was going to go painting but opted not to cause of the rain and i opted not to cause i don't like doing it. then ended up starting finishing up season 1 of californication cause i hadn't watched it in forever and figured i should since season 2 just started leaking. oh yeah and i also watched the second to last episode of weeds and it's getting really crazy where a cop gets his face sanded off.

after that i decided to go to the laundry mat so i could dry off my clothes and sat there listening to some tunes and playing some pokemon. bothers me that i still don't know where to go in that game, i should really just go online and look it up. then i went to best buy for the first time in forever and danielle stopped on by and she bought season 3 of sex and the city then we went to barnes and noble just looking at ridiculously thick books.

then we parted ways and i decided i wanted el adobe for dinner so i went there and got my usual chicken nachos and was honestly in and out in like 10 minutes. came home and watched some more californication and passed out at like 10:30pm.

2008-09-09T18:33:00.000-07:00

woke up and went to work once again which is unfortunate but it was kinda cool that ricardo didn't show up so i ended doing dishes. it was definitely nice being able to get away from the line and then the oak park kids showed up for the first time this school year. then i made myself a cheeseburger before i peaced out for the day around 3:45pm so i wouldn't get told to leave by john.

went home and decided that i didn't want to paint (go figure) and took a little nap and spent the afternoon just lounging around. went over to taco bell and got myself a volcano taco and a cheesy double beef burrito like usual and it was quite delicious. watched some futurama and then watched monday night raw and the vmas in like a hour by speeding through it quickly.

2008-09-07T21:08:00.000-07:00

so another sunday morning waking up with zack on the top bunk and hungry once again so we went and got ourselves another hot and ready and crazy bread. came back to the house and ate our pizza and watched some psych, home alone 2 and played some sf3 and then got my nap on. then zack started making these quacking noises and woke me up which bummed me out but i can't stay mad at him so we played more sf3.

then zack left around 6:00pm and i headed on over to subway and purchased a delicious meatball sub on that italian herb and cheese. then watched some bill engvall which was actually really quite funny and got some serious laugh on. now i'm watching some burn notice and fixing to go to sleep quite soon.

Saturday September 6th

2008-09-07T08:17:00.000-07:00

well i woke up and zack was still crashed out on the top bunk so i went out to the living room to see what taylor was up to. he was getting his street fighter iii on so i joined in on the action and played for a while then eventually we went out and got some hot and ready for little caesars for a little cheese and pepperoni. went back to the house and got more of our sf3 on and now i'm starting to form a callus on my thumb from playing so much.

then we took taylor to the mall so kayla could pick him up and we roamed around talking to "schmity" and grabbed some habchi-san and some sweet tea from the chick-fil-a. ended up just going back to the house and then bryan came over to play some sf3 and i sent nelson to go get me some cookies and cream ice cream and soda. so nelson comes back and then leaves for mitch's birthday party and low and behold that nig bought cherry coke zero like a faggot.

so we just hungout for a while then went to taco bell and tried the volcano taco to go along with my usual cheesy double beef burrito (both were good). dude there needed a jump so we helped him out cause we are good people. checked out bryan and ambers new place over in gillespie which seemed like a pretty chill place to hangout at. watched a couple episodes of the office while waiting for the red ring of death to leave the xbox 360 to play some sf2.

bryan took us back home and then we watched last nights psych and then i attempted to watch 2 episodes of burn notice and passed out both times.

2008-09-06T10:22:00.000-07:00

woke up like usual and went to work and did a bunch of extra pie stuff so that nobody else would have to worry about it on saturday. so around 3:00pm kent told me that jesus was going to be late and wondered if i could stay later so i said "sure." then i made myself a dankalicious bacon cheeseburger before i headed home cause i was like "i'm tired of spending money on food all the time."

went home and took a shower cause i knew taylor was on his way and he got here and then dan and zack eventually rolled on up. we played some street fighter iii before we headed on up to go see fireworks and then stopped at the gas station for some ice cream. get to the show and i'm looking for the fireworks dudes and ran into dave and he helped me get in by telling the door dude that i was helping them with merch and the dude was like "you better not be walking around all night instead of selling merch."

well anyways i ended up walking around and just got my hangout with those guys and omar from htl (rad dude) and some cute girls (one with huge boobs). watch fireworks set and they were really good and it was just a bunch of little girls getting pissed cause us dudes were getting down (ended up stepping on some girls foot and her hitting me). i just wanted to have a good time and then at the end some hombres got their mosh on and those girls were not stoked.

went out with kyle to get some pizza and run into some black dude named funk ghost and he produces and was like "you're in fireworks you guys are heavy" and "you guys do features? like lay down beats...you know for money." ended up spending most of the night just hanging out with everybody and just having a good time.

then drive zacks car back home cause he was too intoxicated and dan was beyond what he should have been which bums me out. he picks up two 32's and eats two taquitos while waiting in line which can be funny but it's honestly just really sad if you ask me. take him home and then us dudes head on back and played some sf3 and ended up waking nelson up and him being all grumpy at us then finally just crashing.

2008-09-04T21:10:00.000-07:00

well around 8:55am i peeled myself out of bed (futon) and got ready for work like i always do on the weekdays. walk out the door after brushing my teeth and realize that i locked my keys inside the house, so i see if any of the doors are unlocked and of course not. so i call mom up and run to the house and we search through her drawers and finally find it and so she takes me back home. i run in my room look under my bed and grab them and dash and i'm already like 20 minutes later then i'd like to get to work at.

get to work and mix up some pie stuff and john leaves for a while so the place is nice and calm like it always should be if you ask me. then john comes back and shatters the dream so no more fun and i get sent home a little before 3:00pm which sucks i got there so late.

got home and slipped on some four year strong the ipod and got my lawn mowing on and ended up running over some wheel next to mailbox. so it gets stuck in the mower so i have to get a hammer and bash it out and grabbed some fruit punch drink to cool myself down and finished the lawn. went back in the house and zack (howdy buddy) called me up and talked to him for a while about getting stoked on things like slumber party weekend.

took my usual shower and cleaned the beard up and then cleaned the house up some to make it presentable cause jen was going to come over. ended up going over to little ceasars for a cheese pizza and it ended up taking forever cause i didn't realize everybody was going to the college fair at robarts. went back home and ate that bad boy along with a couple dews and then ended up watching like half of mr. hollands opus which is still pretty good but i feel like some storylines could have been done better. oh and shady having other people go with him to the show tomorrow even though he said he could have taken me is not cool.

now i'm just sitting here lurking the b9board and listening to nada surf and wishing that i had money once again. almost makes me miss going down to nokomis to clean matthews currie ford and making a extra $100 a week for like 5 hours of work. think i'm going to watch some tv now and hopefully fall asleep soon enough.

2008-09-03T21:38:00.000-07:00

wow i really did not want to wake up this morning and ended up sleeping til 8:50am and made my way to work once again shortly after. get there and all the whipped creams that i made the day before were still there which sucks cause it means we aren't selling as much stuff as we used to. then we had somebody complain about our meatloaf which is completely understandable cause it looks like shit. then somebody wanted salmon on their ham and turkey salad and john chewed us out cause we didn't cut it in half even though we pretended that we didn't know it was for a salad but he wouldn't listen and just wanted to be a dick. then i went and got ready to peace out and at the same time as i was walking out john did as well which is like "why couldn't you have left like a hour ago."

then i went home and nelson eventually showed up and he was going to go paint but decided against it like 5 minutes later so i definitely didn't. ended up watching more weeds and i think nelsons burner does a shitty job and it kept on fucking up and not playing right. so after a while i decided to go over to bangkok to get some to-go and the cute girl that works there rang me up and i was pretty funny. started heading back home and then saw jorge and johan walking along bee ridge and picked them up and took them to golds gym.

got back to the pad and shreded some mountain dew and my curry and downloaded some tunes and the last 3 episodes of weeds.

2008-09-03T21:32:00.001-07:00

today spent another wonderful day at work busting my ass cause nobody did anything on saturday so i had no whipped creams and had to change everything out. then i ended up getting sent home a little before 3:00pm which kinda sucks cause my hours are being killed enough as is and i could have used that extra 15 minutes.

went home and then went over to the other house and did some painting in the closest which was a total pain in the ass cause you can't see too well. but the house is coming along fairly well even though we are running low on paint and i guess people aren't doing that great of a job (probably myself included).

went home then and took a shower and watched some more weeds and then ended up running over to chick-fil-a to treat myself to a number 3 biggie sized. came back home and got more of my weeds and grub eating on and nobody was doing anything so i ended up just chilling at home for the evening and fell asleep at like 1:30am.

2008-09-02T15:55:00.000-07:00

woke up early once again and nelson was going over to the other house to paint and i honestly didn't want to so i didn't. then i went to go get myself some cereal and realized we didn't have milk but i ate it anyways and then had some ravioli. so around 1:30pm i get a call from nelson but i don't answer cause i figure he'd just wanna bitch at me so i ignore it. then about 15 minutes later i hear him come home so i start faking some sleep and he comes in my room and i'm faking it.

then i end up actually passing out and not waking up til like 6:30pm (5 hours) then hit up shady to see if he wanted to grab some moes and he was down. so i met up with him and ryan and shredded a burrito and told them how annoying "queso costs extra" was and i don't think they found it that amusing.

then i went and picked dan up from the hospital and we ended up meeting with danielle and stan at the beach after i put some gas in the tank. well i actually stepped foot on the beach for the first time in years which was weird but whatever. initially it was good to see stan but then that stokedness started to fade off as the evening wore on. first we stopped over at big olaf cause we all know that i love my ice cream so i treated myself to a chocolate chip cookie dough cone which was quite good. then went over to the daquiri deck and dan just kept on drinking drink after drink and getting completely smashed and spending SOOOOOOOOO much money. so holly and her friend dre (i talked to him like a year ago about music downtown) showed up and they were both being chill but the "-ans" were both being rude assholes.

ended up leaving a little after 1:30am and dan and stan started head butting each other as hard as possible which was fucking retarded. then trying to walk back to the car they started fighting each other and doing other weird things. get in the car and they won't leave each other alone and stan spits blood all over danielles window and on her interior which was really unfortunate. then took them back to my car and i had to take the two of them back to dans which ended up being better then danielles car but still annoying. went home and fell asleep at like 4:00am after watching some futurama.

wow the last day of the month which is fricking ridiculous how fast this year has been going by, i mean i moved out of mom and dads like 5 months ago now. well anyways i woke up around 10:00am which is unfortunate and wish it would have been later considering the fact i was up til like 5:00am. nelson was leaving around shortly after i was waking up to go see college and hamlet 2 and i ended up just sitting around watching more weeds. then thought about grabbing a sub over at subway but decided against that and got some general tsos chicken by the place off tuttle and 12th.

went back home and ate my food and it had something in it that was incredibly spicy and i just kept getting my weeds on. later i picked up dan and we went to bennigans and i treated myself to the brownie bottom pie which was good but i felt our service could have been better that's for sure.

went back to the house and i literally watched 10 episodes of season 2 of weeds while dan napped. he woke up and i just took him home and tried to find something to do but cassandra and stan weren't responding back to me. finished up season 2 and ended up passing out and something like 5:00am once again which was ridiculous.

2008-08-31T08:35:00.000-07:00

so woke up earlier then i would have liked to of at around 9:00am and saw nelson getting ready for work and he was pretty bummed out but wanted to get more hours in. he gets there and is told he isn't needed which sucks cause we are closed on monday and i'm sure he could have used the hours. ended up lounging around watching the documentary "beyond the mat" which was about wrestlers like terry funk, mick foley and jake "the snake" roberts and it started dragging a little so i stopped when nelson left to watch the buckeyes play.

spent most of the day lounging around and then finally decided to shower before taylor came over to hangout. so he was really antsy about getting food so we went little caesars and grabbed a large pepperoni and then he got 2 12 packs of mountain dew and ate it on the way back. ended up getting our street fighter iii shred on with nelson and i faired fairly well and realized i really like remy and got good with him as well.

then after hanging out for a while we went to subway and they toasted his sub and he got really pissed off over that cause he likes his salad not toasted. but then we just went back to the house and played more SF3 cause i didn't wanna drive anywhere unless it was a movie cause gas is too damn expensive. then we watched ferris buellers day off and it was his first time seeing it and he was totally blown away by the awesomeness of it. played more SF3 and i actually beat gill in like 3 tries which was pretty sweet cause he's so damn hard.

took taylor home a little after 2:00am and ended up just listening to the gaslight anthem and driving pretty slow to save gas money. chit chatted for a while about screamo bands that i'd seen that he hadn't and then i headed on back home and got in a little after 3:00am and stayed up til like 4:30am watching futurama.

so yeah had another uneventful day at work and unfotunately it wasn't very busy at all cept for some quick pick ups. so yeah ended up leaving a little early cause it was so slow and i don't like having john stare at me cause i have nothing to do.

so stopped by the bank and there was a new guy working who said that savings accounts started with a 3 and not a 2 and i had to tell him it's a really old number. got my weak payday like usual which is so unfortunate and makes me miss making over 300 bucks a week.

so went home and was expecting taylor to come over eventually but his mother wouldn't let him come out. so i ended up cleaning up my room and the bathroom pretty good cause i hadn't done any dusting or sweeping in quite some time. then i decided that i'd try and find something to do and actually tried getting ahold of people to hangout but everybody had other things more important going on. so i drove around jamming to see some blink and looking around downtown but ended up settling with some meatball sub at subway and going home.

watched some wrestling with nelson and lounged around doing a whole lot of nothing and fell asleep and had a dream about transformers.

2008-08-29T05:20:00.000-07:00

woke up and finally went to work and i had so much done yesterday that all i had to do was cut bread and whip up some puddings. nelson made some broccoli so i put it in some vegetable soup for lunch and it was pretty tasty. then we ended up being a little busy for a while so nelson came up and actually helped out on the line which is pretty unusual nowadays. ended up leaving around 2:55pm cause jesus was already clocked in and john was patroling the halls like the freak that he is.

headed on home and actually did a load of laundry and took a shower right away which bummed nelson out cause i didn't go help paint again. a couple hours passed by and i brought my laundry in and it was pretty well all dried so i felt good about myself cause i hadn't done that in forever.

then around 6:30pm i headed on over to china palace express and got myself my usual general tso chicken with water chestnuts and broccoli. the girl working there was pretty cute in a asian kinda way but unfortunately it was so hot in there and you get the worst phone reception while waiting. so went home and shredded that and watched a couple more episodes of weeds and a paul reubens special on biography in which it reminds me that he got a bum rap.

ended up going over to the steve's to meet up with dan and they were both getting seriously baked and we did some dumb math equations. so then we watch the ratdog episode of curb your enthusiasm which was hilarious and it sucks cause i'd never seen it before cause i have the episode.

then we headed on out to the thirsty turtle and it was just a bunch of really old dudes so i walk over to the paddy wagon and it wasn't much better. so i came back and had a coke and found out jeno was at the cabana so i took dan home and then i took the steves home and went to the cabana. jen was shooting some pool with her beautiful friends renee and her roomate lindsay and they all look ridiculously good. so they kept having these creepy 40 year old dudes lurk around them while they tried getting there pool on which is unfortunate.

so ended up hanging out at the bar with them and come to find out renee was 34 years old even though i would have never guessed that. had some interesting conversations with her and then i wanted a drink so lindsay told me you have to shake your boobs so she grabbed hers and started shaking them and what do you know it worked. damn if she didn't have a boyfriend i would have been all over that one, but unfortunately she does and i'm not a skeezball. chad crews and ryan hopewell were really the only other people i knew there so it ended up being sort of a awkward evening.

so went to work like usual which is about as much fun as pulling teeth but whatever i got to do what i got to do. it's so weird that i just stay up front nowadays and nelson stays in the back doing a bunch of bullshit work to occupy his time.

took jesus forever to get done doing whatever he does and then alex showed up at around the same time as he came up so i ended up just leaving then. well headed on home and just laid around doing nothing instead of going over to the other house and paint. nelson comes home and says that mom said i still owe money on my car which i'm sure i do but i'm hurting so bad financially that i can't afford it. seriously this month is about over and i sure hope i can pay for my bills early next month even though we are closed on monday which will be a kick in my paychecks balls.

ended up going over to little caesars and treating myself to a large cheese pizza all to myself which is honestly kind of ridiculous. so i started watching weeds and got through the first 4 episodes and i'm really enjoying it and mary louise parker is absolutely gorgeous. stayed up til like 1:00am for the first time in over a week and i'm starting to feel a lot better.

wow so ended up going to work and not having a whole lot to do and thankfully it wasn't as hot inside as it was yesterday. ended up making myself a waffle for breakfast and ate it in the back cause there were people partying in the tea room. before i went home i ended up having some beef and noodles and mashed and read what was going on in the world of sports with my cubs being the top team in the majors.

ended up just heading straight home and lounged around for a while before i decided to hop in the shower and got my long nap on. ended up waking up around 9:00pm and went to subway and got myself a meatball sub from two very cute girls *reminder: hit up the 12th st. subway.*

so went home and got some fruit punch and spilled it everywhere so i had to clean that up before i could dive into my sub. put on some burn notice and got my grub on unfortunately my internet kept going in and out while i was watching it. after a while (around 11:30) i just pass out for good for the rest of the night.

ended up waking up around 8:00am and ended up going over to the gas station and put $40 in which is pretty good cause i made it a whole week for $30. got to work and started feeling like absolute crap cause of my illness and cause of how hot that it was. ended up being a difficult day making it through cause it being so ridiculously slow and making enough hours which really sucks cause it can only get slower.

after work ended up just going home instead of cashing my check and laid around doing nothing and watching season 1 of burn notice. went over to publix to get some nyquil and ended up running into joe schiep for the second time in a week. then went over to chick-fil-a once again and treated myself to a number 3 with a sweet tea and then just went back to watching more burn notice.

woke up and nelson ended up dvr'ing the gold medal game between spain and usa and it was a really tight game and i couldn't watch it all. so i wake zack up and we go over to sweet tomatoes for brunch cause we planned on going the yesterday but ended up oversleeping. so zack drove there and i treated myself to a large amount of food and they even had some cheesecake ice cream which made up for the cheesecake i forgot to get yesterday.

after sweet tomatoes we went over to the mall and it was a pretty dull time besides saying hello to cullen for a brief amount of time. kinda wanted to go see a movie (particularly tropic thunder) but i was also wanting to take a nap instead so we just went back to the house. i finished watching the basketball game and it ended up being a lot closer then i expected but usa did end up pulling it out in the end.

ended up getting my nap on and then got woken up by zack when he was heading on out after our long slumber party. ended up just lounging around and then ian came over and started watching predator and i got 2 cheesy double beef burritos but they upped the price another 10 cents which sucks but whatever they are still delicious. ended up crashing around 9:00pm while watching burn notice and woke up again around 12:30am and finished watching that episode.

heard a knock at the door so i walk on out and it was katie daugherty going door to door giving out brouchers for her mother. it was like already 1:00pm by then which is ridiculous cause i never sleep that late but sometimes you don't feel well so you keep sleeping. woke zack up and then we went and got some chick-fil-a and just came back to the house and played street fighter iii. we watched this weeks psych, monk and burn notice which were all really good and enjoyable.

then instead of going out we just went and got some pizza from little caesars and came back to the house and eventually beat street fighter iii which was actually really difficult. still sick which really sucks cause i'm honestly ready to be over this illness. then we started watching the first episode of burn notice and i fell asleep watching it.

2008-08-23T13:32:00.000-07:00

went to work like usual and tried making myself look as busy as possible and even made myself a waffle for breakfast and made me full unfortunately everybody kept on making goodies so i kept eating. so ended up leaving around 3:30 cause john kept roaming the halls and i knew he'd send me home anyways cause jesus was actually around and we were ridiculously dead anyways.

went home and took another nap and then ended up getting awoken by a phone call by dan and i just ignored it then called him back. "ahoy hoy" and i knew he was already drunk at 6:30 which never means anything good and that he's at the paddy wagon with zack. so i tell him i might come over so i doll myself up and then stop at mom and dads (nelson and them went to a dinner at sarasota alliance for the german girls) and grabbed a fork and called bangkok for some pad thai. drive over to the 7-11 and get some gatorade and then grab my pad thai and head on over to the paddy wagon and ricky was working so i brought my pad thai in. it was definitely delicious and dan was being very obnoxious cause i love the kid except when he's retarded drunk.

then they decided they were hungry so we headed on over to taco bell and when we left dan threw his drink into the air and let it splat on the ground to piss off the workers. then we head back to the paddy wagon so i didn't have to be their cab and head on over to steve's to hangout with him and ricky. ended up hanging out watching some tim and erics awesome show and they smoked some devils lettuce and finally decided to go over to alexx's house.

head on over to alexx's house and they procede to get really high and i shred some papa johns pizza and stale cereal and watched borat and got my nap on for a little bit. then plettner took me back to my car at his house and i went back home and zack came over a little afterwards and watched a little bit of how i met your mother and futurama and crashed around 4:00am.

so another day another dollar at work unfortunately we've been so slow that i just send nelson to the back until johan gets sent home. nelson got a call and dad ended up totalling one of the vans and screwed his foot up.

so before i go home i stop at the walgreens and pick up myself some nyquil cause i really wanna get this cold cleared up still. end up chit chatting with katie shadowens for a hot minute about new york and her car and other random shit.

then went to the house and ended up falling asleep and then nelson woke me up and i go over to mom and dads for dinner with the exchange students since they are leaving on saturday. so i go over and mom didn't even have dinner ready for like another 40 minutes (that i could have been sleeping btw) and it was beef strips and rice which was alright i guess. so actually ended up hanging around and watched jeopardy until dan called me up.

so i picked his ass up at the hospital and went to publix so he could cash his check and so i could get myself some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. went back to the house and 2 episodes of house md and ended up taking him to checkers and just drove him home. then i went home and watched some himym and just went to sleep cause i took some nyquil.

2008-08-21T19:45:00.000-07:00

so this morning got a phone call from nelson telling me jorge might be interested in buying my gameboy advance for his sons birthday so i find the power chord and head to work. john is there now but for some reason is in some sort of chipper mood which is quite odd cause we have been very slow...he even asked how i was doing. but i ended up sending nelson to the back and johan and i just took care of business up front cause it was easy enough.

went home and told nelson "yo we are mowing the lawn" so i slapped on that new gaslight anthem album on the ipod and just went for it. got it done a little before it started raining and took a shower and watched some futurama. ended up getting my sleep on for about 2 hours and then went out to chick-fil-a and got my chicken strips on before going to the cock and bull.

so i get to the cock and bull and bryan beardsly is the only person that i know there so i chat with him for a hot minute. then i ended up hanging out by my car checking out baseball scores when joe schiep came in and then finally people started pouring in and it was a reunion of 2002 (pete, noelle, ricky, chad, casey...ect.) and there was this girl whitley who everybody knew except for me. after a few cokes and root beers i ended up leaving around 2:00am and ended up watching more futurama and didn't end up getting to sleep til nearly 4:00am.

2008-08-20T14:28:00.000-07:00

so today was the last day of not having john at work which is always a pleasure but we were so slow. tropical storm fay was supposed to hit us but i honestly didn't see ANY rain at all which is crazy cause the wind was blowing like crazy. ended up leaving earlier then normal cause i felt guilty standing around doing absolutely nothing.

after work went home and lounged around and then taylor calls me up and is like "my dad doesn't wanna drive all the way to your house so can you pick me up at the mall?" so i'm like "sure but i'll be a while though." then i ended up taking a while and he's like "where you at dood?" tsk tsk tsk and i picked dan up on my way there cause he wanted to hangout as well. so we went to the mall and taylor snagged me a snickerdoodle and a root beer and we chatted with alexx for a little while as well.

afterwards we headed on over to the taco bell off clark for some cheesy double beef burritos (it's so cheap it's like you're stealing them) and zack called and said he was heading to the house. so we arrive to the house and he's already there so we go in and get our street fighter iii on like usual and have some pretty good games going on.

then around 10 taylor had to be home so everybody cleared out and then i found out matt pryor and chris conley were doing acoustic sets on the chain reaction site. so i log in over there and watch and matt only played one song i knew which was unfortunate but chris kicked out the jams with a bunch of random stuff. sucks that it didn't end til nearly 2:00am around here but it was worth it and he's looking a lot better now with short hair and skinnier.

2008-08-19T05:15:00.000-07:00

so i ended up bringing in my laundry and hanging it up in my bedroom when i should have just hung it up outside cause it didn't end up raining. then i tried to go to the optomitrist to get my glasses adjusted and my car wouldn't start up so i had to wait for it for a little while to get it's juice (i wish i had money to go to the shop). afterwards i was still feeling like crap and went to work and it was honestly probably the slowest day imaginable. it was the first day of school and plus this tropical storm fay is supposed to hit us on tuesday but it hasn't done anything yet.

so after work i went to bank because i had $12 to my name which honestly sucks and i was running empty on gas so i put some in. came home and then zack and dan just randomly showed up at my house to say they were going to the show tonight with chris tart (canwestartagain). so i took a shower and hit josh call up to see if he could get me on the guest list and two minutes later had me on it compliments of scott vogel.

so we ride on up with chris and get to the show and not many people are there and this band faceplant was playing at the time and they were representing sarasota which was awful. so when trapped under ice was playing shit was getting ridiculous amongst them and the rest of the crowd and you knew something was going to happen. so during cdc it just got even more ridiculous and they got their asses handed to them and then ended up slamming their truck into terrors trailer which was ridiculous.

saw justin lewis get his mosh on during death before dishonor which was really funny and awesome at the same time. then terror played after the warriors and i was up front getting my sing along on.

ended up leaving eventually and then went to mcdonalds off of state road 60 and shredded some mcchickens and caramel sundaes. dan and zack were uber drunk and somewhat annoying but whatever.

so i woke up pretty early and ended up spending my whole day watching futurama and going to mcdonalds and getting two double cheeseburgers. cept they screwed my order up and gave me one ketchup only and the other with everything which is gross.

later for dinner i had a frozen banquet mac and cheese which i don't think made me feel too good yet i also had two cheesy double beef burritos later which may not have been a good idea either. sucks being low on gas and having like $13 in my wallet and having to give nelson $50 when i get my next paycheck.

so then i fell asleep watching futurama and at around 2:30am my futon slips and i smash my glasses trying to catch my balance. so tomorrow i'll have to go to the optomitrist and get them adjusted cause i can't pull it off myself and i decided to do a load of laundry as well. oh yeah and they are talking about a hurricane coming our way which sucks even more and i'm still feeling ill.

2008-08-17T05:46:00.000-07:00

so i woke up this morning on the couch and zack sleeping on the top bunk for the second time in the last 2 weeks. started to actually feel a little bit better so we went on over to the local little ceasars and snagged ourselves a large cheese pizza for lunch. then we ended up watching my fellow americans and i took a nap until dan woke me up at 2:30 to pick him up.

so we went to the hospital and got dan and then went to the mall for a little bit which was totally a waste of time and gas if you ask me. then i went to the 7-11 to fill myself on some electrolytes (aka gatorade) and we went to applebees off of clark. took my drink inside and then the manager made me take it out to my car cause they couldn't control what was in it and i was the only one not drinking. shredded a bacon burger and some fries even though i wish i would have just gotten some fries.

afterwards we just went back to the house and played world or warcraft and street fighter iii and got my nap on instead of going out to sweet tomatoes with dad and the exchange girls.

ended up going out to livingstons and it ended up being such a bust that i wish i would have just stayed at home and watched futurama.

2008-08-15T23:06:00.000-07:00

woke up today on the couch cause i roamed out there in the middle of the night cause i wasn't feeling too hot. went to work feeling crappy but whatever you gotta do what you gotta do and had johan get pissy at me cause i called his brother out for being a idiot.

well after work i went home and showered and then picked dan up and we hit up the sonnys and i treated myself to some all you can eat chicken which was pretty tasty. then went to the best buy for the second time this week and shredded a little bit more of the guitar hero. headed on over to wal-mart and got some cookies and mountain dew for the casa cause we were fresh out.

went back to the house and zack was already there so we played some street fighter iii like usual and did alright and realized how much better it is then street fighter ii. after a while we hit up the wendys so the boys could shred some baconators and i could hook it up with a frosty. then at the house i got tonights episodes of monk and psych which were both good stuff.

took dan back to his home and zack and i raged the livingstons and ran into jim (from albertsons) and that was cool until he brought nix over and that wasn't that cool. zack got his 6 dollar pitcher of beer on and i got my cherry coke on and watched a bunch of baseball tonight and olympic diving.

now zack is hanging out for the night and maybe we'll watch some tv or something before we end up calling it a night.

well today started off alright except the dishwasher wasn't working unfortunately but it was all good having another day without john there. tommy kept on talking about harold and kumar and made me realize that he more likely then not smokes the devils lettuce.

ended up going home and cleaned my room up cause taylor was coming over to hangout and got our street fighter iii on and unfortunately got whooped by nelson.

then we went out to el adobe for dinner and shredded some nachos and chips and then i started getting a lame sore throat. afterwards went to best buy and barnes and noble to treat myself to a hot chai latte to try and help my throat.

came back and watched the last 3 episodes of how i met your mother to finish the show with taylor. all 5 seasons has finished downloading today of futurama so i've been jamming that pretty hard even though it seems likes i've seen most everything.

now it's time to get some serious sleep cause i'm honestly exhausted for some reason even though it's only 10:30.

went to work today and had some delicious banana bread that rachel made. actually were quite busy which was nice but it sucks knowing that there is only two more days left without john. been such a pleasure having him over in greece instead of making my day a living hell.

after work ended up going home and went to the other house with nelson and spent 2 hours painting which sucked and dad ended up snagging my cell phone money.

came back home afterwords and shreded some street fighter iii with nelson and he ended up beating me 6-5. then ended up watching some futurama and got my nap on for a little while and picked up dan at the hospital and had some glorious taco bell for dinner.

ended up watching a couple of episodes of house md (season 1 ep11-12) and then just took dan home.

so yeah started off my day getting a phone call by tharp at 5:30 in the morning and being like "what the fuck?" and come to find out he was checking to see who sent sam a text. fell back to sleep and hung out til i had to go to work.

get to work and just get my whipped cream on and having the luxury of not having any owner or manager in my presence ruining my fantastic mood. went by quite smoothly even though israel was being a pain in the ass like usual which is unfortunate.

after work i headed on over to the bank so i could get nelson some rent money cause i feel bad always being overdue on that shit but i don't get enough hours anymore which is unfortunate.

after that went home and was trimming up the beard when taylor came over and took a shower and when i came out him and nelson were playing street fighter III. so i joined in on the fun and actually had a hard time with nelson which is quite odd, glad we actually hung out with him for a little while cause he's been kinda lonely it seems.

so taylor and i head on over to super target to meet up with zack, chris (canwestartagain) and his friend nick? ended up snagging some breadsticks from pizza hut and some deodorant cause i was out at home and forgot to put some on anyways. then we headed on up to the show tonight at the skatepark of tampa and initially there wasn't many people that we knew besides tamara. so we hop in her car and head on over to the gas station for some grub and drinks to tie us over and come back and some of the party posse was there waiting for us.

ended up not watching gator bait but moshed to the bathroom during overboard but instead hung outside with katy, drunk zack and taylor and many other solid folks. man that girl alex is really cute and i'd totally be into that and i need to add her to myspace so i can get those pictures that we took as well. blackbirds was really fucking good then and zack was just getting so into it that i thought he was going to grab their mic and start screaming. after that was foundation and forfeit and they were both enjoyable and i definitely need to get into foundation.

after the show we ended up hanging out and taking a ton of pictures and matty g trying to ollie off of foundations van but ended up breaking the deck. then after everybody left we talked to the blackbirds dudes for honestly a hour about houseguest, g6 lite and wii jenga and they were honestly such nice dudes and i picked up their 7".

ended up driving by mcdonalds and saw cory and robson inside so we stopped and snagged some double cheeseburgers and sweet tea and eventually found my way home. unfortunately a light in my car keeps popping up saying "low brake fluid" which pisses me off but my car still works alright.

woke up this morning and lounged around for a while and then headed to work and ended up having quite a bit of stuff to do. today was the first day of johns vacation so it was so nice not having him around just staring at everybody making stuff so uncomfortable. i don't really enjoy tommy either but he's less of a dick i guess you would say. then ended up doing salads cause johan got a phone call and come to find out john doesn't think i know how to do salads (what a douche).

after work headed on over to the mall to pick taylor up and that little punk wasn't out at the parent pick up when i got there which annoyed me but whatever. after that i had to stop at the gas station and ended up putting 50 bucks in my tank and that didn't totally fill it up :( (it was the cheapest that i'd paid in a long time though at $3.65) at the bp on tamiami. so then we went and picked up senor horsley at the hospital and unlike taylor he was there ready to be picked up.

went back to the house and i really should have helped nelson paint some but ended up just showering and played some more pokemon pearl while the boys played world of warcraft. debating on actually creating a character on dans account and start playing that.

then we hopped in the car and headed on over to moes and bryan and zack were over at play and trade when we got there. so ended up just being taylor and i getting our burritos on and the girl working there flipped my burrito to show i got queso but i was like "you don't have to do that" so she flipped it back :).

headed on over to play and trade and played a little street fighter on the snes. then we headed back to the house and played some street fighter III which was pretty bad ass (specially hugo) and then dan left with buttner at some point. little after he peaced out we ended up going over to starbucks on clark and saw bethany (bens ex). walk inside and danielle, ricky and lauren are inside so end up getting a white chocolate mocha drink dude and the barista kept hitting on me. so we sat down with the rest of the kids and holly showed up which was nice to see her cause it had been a long time since we'd seen each other.

took zack back to moes to his car and he ended up playing street fighter II on my ds for forever and i ended up convincing chris to take us to the show tomorrow which should be fun.

woke up and nelson called me over to watch the olympics. started watching the usa vs china basketball game during the second quarter and it was still somewhat of a close game. then the second half USA just took over and was even up by 40 but ended up winning by like 30. felt bad for yao ming but he still looked thrilled throughout the end.

started deleting a bunch of stuff off my computer to free up room and burned tv shows on dvd-rs so i'll still have them even though i've watched most of them already.

then went to subway and got myself a prime rib sub off of 12th st. and even hit on the girl working there about her small hands. ate that bad boy at the house while watching a special on vh1 classics called "the seven generations of rock" and the first was about 65' and the stones, the kinks and the who which was pretty sweet. the next hour was about pink floyd and the rest of the psychadelic era which i don't give a shit about. but the third part was all about the late 70s punk era like the ramones, the clash and the sex pistols which was pretty good but they should have talked about some smaller bands as well.

been playing quite a bit of pokemon as of late and actually got out of a rut and should be near the end soon. debating about creating a character on WoW and starting to play that as well but who knows?

went to go pick dan up but my car wouldn't start so i went back in the house and watched some more olympics and 10 minutes later started right up. got to his house and decided that i wanted to eat at olive garden so we did and i wanted lasagna but they didn't have any so i went with the staple fettecini alfredo. we were honestly in and out of there in like 25 minutes which is crazy but we had a good waitress.

then we went back to my house and watched 3 episodes of house md (episodes 7-9 of season 1) and just chilled while i got my pokemon on.

then dan was like "hey can you take me to hospital to get my bike?" so i'm like "ehhhh sure" so i take him and since i was barefoot i let him put it in my himself (nigga needs to hook me up now that he's making cash). took him home and here i am now typing this out and hopefully i'll keep doing this so i'll have something to look back on and remember what i was doing on this day 10 years from now.

so weird to see them break up but it was definitely overdue. driving over 3 hours and missing most of the show was worth hearing 4 songs that i wanted to hear one last time.

god i can't believe it was over 7 years ago that i first saw them and met mike and shawn who really made me feel welcome when i first started going to shows. heck the first day that i had my license i drove up to brandon i went and saw them play and like a month later saw them in ocala. mike being such a awesome dude letting me stay there and sleeping in the same room as john lockjaw is something so random.
